The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 1172

Chapter 1172: Chapter 891: The Sinister Dummy’s Trading Terms Chapter 1172: Chapter 891: The Sinister Dummy’s Trading Terms Island Lord’s Mansion.

After the celebration dinner for Wu Heng becoming the leader.

In the living room, Shanaela, Xi Ligui, Shi Yali, Mackintosh, Mini, and Andre Willow sat chatting around the coffee table.

The air conditioning hummed as it circulated cool air, keeping the room at a comfortable temperature.

The dignified and mature wood elf elegantly lifted her teacup to sip, then spoke, “Deacon Xi Ligui, Gold and Silver Island has a new flag-bearer. Have you heard any news about who it might be?”

“There was no clear answer in the letter,” Xi Ligui pondered, then added, “But I feel that they would not likely appoint someone with conflicts with Gold and Silver Island as the flag-bearer.”

Though it was not explicitly stated, everyone could gather that it implied The Holy Court.

The priests of The Holy Court, who are also professionals, naturally also hold some positions in the association.

Mini spoke discontentedly, “I don’t believe that someone from The Holy Court would dare to come here as a flag-bearer.”

Now is not the time when The Holy Court could just come to the island and boss everyone around.

Shi Yali smiled and said, “There’s nothing to worry about. Besides Lilith being here on the island, now that Wu Heng has the leader’s authority, even without executive power, why fear a flag-bearer?”

“Assistant Shi Yali has a point as well,” Shanaela agreed.

Even before Wu Heng was a leader, he was not fearful of the Pope, and now having been appointed as the leader, he possesses authority above all professionals.

Worrying about a flag-bearer would be even less likely.

Instead, the new flag-bearer should be more cautious, especially performing tasks under the watch of two leaders.

Everybody agreed with this notion and felt a sense of relief.

Shi Yali looked at the voluptuous wood elf who felt at ease, as if in her own home, and casually asked, “Sister Shanaela, are you still staying in your own mansion? Didn’t you bring any servants along?”

Xi Ligui also looked on curiously.

The relations between Wu Heng and Shanaela were known to the maids in the house, but were not disclosed publicly.

After all, Shanaela nominally still had a husband.

During this time, Shanaela had dedicated herself fully to Gold and Silver Island and was often seen at the Island Lord’s Mansion, leading the elf sisters to suspect the nature of their relationship.

“I won’t be staying for many days, I need to return to Netalee City. The affairs of the mansion, I’ve left them to Mini and others to manage,” Shanaela answered.

Mini cooperatively added, “Yes, it’s mostly managed by skeletons, not troublesome at all.”

The elf sisters nodded, believing this explanation.

Shanaela then continued looking at Shi Yali and Xi Ligui, smiling as she asked, “Have you two found someone you like yet? You’re both of age now and hold certain positions in the association, it should be time to consider these matters.”

Both sisters blushed instantly.

Xi Ligui glanced at her sister as if to say, why did you provoke her.

Unwilling to be outdone, Shi Yali declared, “I have someone I like, he’s quite outstanding.”

Surprised, Shanaela asked, “Is he from the island? Introduce him to us when you have the time.”

Shi Yali glanced to the side where Lilith was talking with someone, and said, “There might be a chance, he is quite shy.”

…

Elsewhere, Wu Heng and Lilith were sitting at the bar.

Tasting some beverages from the modern world.

Lilith put down her glass with a neutral tone, “Have you written to ‘Saidu’?”

Saidu is a religious leader.

It was not surprising to Wu Heng that she knew about it because the letters were mailed through the association, and it was normal for Lilith to find out.

He earnestly replied, “He threatened the Chamber of Commerce that cooperates with Gold and Silver Island in his capacity as a leader of the association. I wrote to him to rescind his threat.”

“Nothing else?” Lilith looked at him doubtfully.

“Nothing else, just that matter. There’s nothing else I could discuss with him,” Wu Heng replied, taking a sip from his glass.

Lilith looked away and said, “The headquarters will mediate the conflict between you two. The Holy Court has been a bit aggressive. Try not to have any issues on your end, just wait for the mediation.”

“Understood!” Wu Heng responded with a smile.

Continuing, Lilith asked, “What are your plans going forward?”

Wu Heng paused for a couple of seconds before saying, “Later, there will be several factories established on Gold and Silver Island to provide the residential areas with electric lights and some devices, as well as focusing on foreign trade to increase income.”

“Are you planning to offer these lighting devices to all residents on the island? Can they afford the costs?” Lilith felt his idea was somewhat bold.

Magical Props had developed over many years, and Illuminating Stones were not a rare prop anyway.

But those who used them were still primarily high-level professionals, and common people could hardly afford the costs of Illuminating Stones.

That’s also why the streets of Gold and Silver Island were even livelier at night than during the day; everyone would come out to chat under the bright street lamps and only return to sleep late at night.

And the ‘electric light’ prop on Gold and Silver Island was even better than the Illuminating Stone.

It seemed like it would be pricier too.

“There will be a certain fee, but it will be kept within an affordable range for ordinary people,” Wu Heng stated.

Lilith nodded, “It’s worth a try.”

Only with Wu Heng saying so, did Lilith feel he would indeed go through with it.

“Leader, the Blood Clan might need it too, should we set it up for you after trying it out on Gold and Silver Island?” Wu Heng leaned forward.

Lilith slightly raised her eyebrows, “Let’s see how it works out here first.”

The Blood Clan could also move normally at night, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need lighting.

But she would wait until the experimentation on Gold and Silver Island was complete before considering it for her own side.
